With directorRuben Fleischer’sUnchartedmovie arriving in theaters on February 18, I recently spoke toTom HollandandMark Wahlbergabout making the adaptation of the popular video game franchise. During the fun conversation, they talked about why it’s taken so long to get the movie made, what it was like filming the massive cargo plane action scene, what they’re excited for fans of the game to see in the film, and if working with Wahlberg means Holland gets a Wahlburgers gift card for life. In addition, they revealed what someone should watch if they’ve never seen anything they’ve done before, and Holland talks about how much he lovesLone Survivorand how he listens to some of the soundtrack if he needs to get emotional in a scene.
As you’ve seen in themany trailers,Unchartedis a prequel to the video game series and it’s about how a young Nathan Drake (Holland) and Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Wahlberg) first meet and why they team up to find the lost Ferdinand Magellan fortune that could be worth five billion dollars.Unchartedalso starsTati Gabrielleas Braddock,Sophia Alias Chloe Frazer, andAntonio Banderasas the ruthless Santiago Moncada, who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs to the Magellan treasure.

Watch what Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg had to say in the player above and below is a list of exactly what we talked about during the interview.
Here’s the synopsis forUncharted:
Street-smart thief Nathan Drake (Holland) is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Wahlberg) to recover a fortune lost by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago. What starts as a heist job for the duo becomes a globe-trotting, white-knuckle race to reach the prize before the ruthless Moncada (Banderas), who believes he and his family are the rightful heirs. If Nate and Sully can decipher the clues and solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries, they stand to find $5 billion in treasure and perhaps even Nate’s long-lost brother…but only if they can learn to work together.
